Character Outline
Edit
In Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Sextus is a former Roman magistrate and husband to Aemilia. Batiatus hoped that he would be a patron to the ludus, and that he would lift them to higher standing.
Sextus is present in the pulvinus along with Batiatus, Lucretia, Varus, Cossutius and Solonius at the opening day of the new arena, where he demanded execution before the games began, where Diona was executed.
Gods of the ArenaEdit
Sextus was a magistrate during the times of the construction of the new arena. He seemed to be somewhat considerate, as when he offered to release Diona from her execution in the new arena, before Batiatus refused the offer. He and Solonius are responsible for the freedom of Gannicus.
Blood and SandEdit
During the celebration fight between Crixus and Spartacus, Sextus sits with host Batiatus on the ludus balcony. At the peak of the fight, however, Spartacus lunges into the air (with the help of Crixus), in an attempt to assassinate Batiatus. Without hesitation, Batiatus grabs Sextus and uses him as a human shield. Spartacus' sword plunges right through Sextus' head, killing him instantly.

His two cousins, Seppius and Seppia, were very grieved by his death, and wanted vengeance against Spartacus and his rebels.[1]
TriviaEdit
- In Latin, `Sextus´ literally means `the sixth´.[2] In ancient Rome, it was common practice for parents to give their sons a number as a name. 'Sextus' was one of the ten most common Roman personal names.
